  • Love it

    One of the kindest people Ive ever met. But the most knowledgeable when it comes to business and leadership. Although I don’t agree with Andy 100%, his leadership is unmatched! I wish he would lead our government or at least the gov officials into better leaders.

  • My routine listening

    I didn’t plan on leaving a review but I have to say this content is great.

    The traditional media is on its way out I appreciate that DJ still brings in major news that I wouldn’t find because i won’t listen to the garbage on tv.

    I love the 75hard content but I am grateful for the world updates as well as keeping personal excellence as the forefront. You are in control of the world you see so I’m grateful to have strong voices sharing the message.

  • Idiotic

    I will never understand how the dumbest among us becomes the most vocal. The platforming of non-experts and the uneducated is simply bewildering. Dunning-Kruger podcast.

    Great show and have enjoyed Andy and Dj. Great points, don’t always agree with the details of the point but thats what it is about. Have shared the show a few times and never hear anything back but all good will continue to do so. Some stupid comments on the reviews seem to be recent… my only critique would be the sound, Dj always sounds lower than Andy, would be nice to get that leveled out so we don’t have to always turn the volume and down between the two. Besides thats 100% greatness here. T... more

    Wow, this guy is REALLY desperate to look cool and as dumb as one would expect from someone whose parents are clearly siblings. Drink every time his insecurity shines through! You’ll be hammered in no time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1017. Q&AF: Passed Up For Promotion, Optimizing Business Output & Staying True To Your Word
Q: Andy, I work for a trucking company. I recently got passed up twice for promotions in eight months for a management position I've held for eight years.
The issue isn't time but performance and attitude; you must dramatically elevate your execution, leadership, and reliability to be undeniable, otherwise the company will keep promoting others who prove themselves. Start by assessing and fixing the traits leadership looks for, then work to become so valuable that being passed over becomes inconceivable.
1014. Q&AF: Regaining Your Edge, Rewarding Yourself Responsibly & Working In Vs On The Business
Q: If you're a craftsman moving into business, how do you balance doing what you love with building a scalable company?
Shift from doing the craft to building systems and hiring skilled people; gradually delegate the craft work while staying connected to the core vision and ensuring the business supports your quality of life.
1014. Q&AF: Regaining Your Edge, Rewarding Yourself Responsibly & Working In Vs On The Business
Q: How should a young person manage money and rewards as they grow?
Reward yourself incrementally and in ways that don't jeopardize future growth; use small, meaningful perks and experiences to stay motivated while preserving capital for essential investments.
1014. Q&AF: Regaining Your Edge, Rewarding Yourself Responsibly & Working In Vs On The Business
Q: How do you replace the edge or anger that used to drive you once you've achieved some success?
Expand your purpose and mission beyond the initial goal, push to a bigger objective, and publicly commit to it so you stay driven even when the old energy isn't there.
1010. Q&AF: Chasing The Next Win, Money Mindset & Taking The Entrepreneurial Leap
Q: What should a nearly 40-year-old corporate worker do when they have a strong business idea but significant financial responsibilities?
Decide decisively to bet on yourself if you can reduce drag (e.g., downsizing housing, selling unnecessary assets); communicate with family about the plan, minimize fixed costs, and embrace the long-term view that delaying the move often leads to regret; there is often no perfect time, so create a plan to move now while maintaining safety nets.
